  • World Food Programme – an Overview
    World Food Programme – An Overview Researched and Compiled by Elga Zalite, Stanford University Library The World Food Programme (WFP) is the food assistance branch of the United Nations and it is the world's largest humanitarian organization addressing hunger, with over 14 500 staff, 90 per cent of whom work in developing countries. WFP provides food, on average, to 90 million people per year, 58 million of whom are children. From its headquarters in Rome and more than 80 country offices around the world, WFP works to help people who are unable to produce or obtain enough food for themselves and their families. It is a member of the United Nations Development Group.i History The WFP was first established in 1961 after the 1960 Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) Conference. WFP formally started its work in 1963 with a mandate from the FAO and the United Nations General Assembly on a three-year experimental basis. In 1965, the programme was extended to a continuing basis. The programme started its life by voluntary pledges from participating countries in the form of commodities, cash or services such as shipping.ii Now WFP operations are funded by voluntary donations from world governments, corporations and private donors. The organization's administrative costs are only seven percent—one of the lowest and best among aid agencies. Goals and strategies WFP strives to eradicate hunger and malnutrition. with the ultimate goal in mind of eliminating the need for food aid itself. The core strategies behind WFP activities, according to its mission statement, are to provide food aid to: 1.

  • WFP's ROLE in PEACEBUILDING in TRANSITION SETTINGS Informal
    WFP’S ROLE IN PEACEBUILDING IN TRANSITION SETTINGS Informal Consultation 20 September 2013 World Food Programme Rome, Italy EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Conflict is a leading cause of hunger. People in conflict-affected states are approximately three times more likely to be undernourished than those living in countries at peace.1 To a lesser extent, hunger can contribute to violence by exacerbating tensions and grievances. WFP therefore has a strong interest and a potentially important role in supporting transitions towards peace. In recent years, the United Nations’ method for supporting countries emerging from conflict has shifted to a “whole-of-government” approach with a focus on national peacebuilding strategies and the New Deal for Engagement in Fragile States. It has also attempted to provide system-wide coherence to its support through the Delivering as One and United Nations integration initiatives. WFP itself has undergone significant internal reflection to understand its potential role in these settings. This policy sets the parameters for WFP’s engagement in peacebuilding activities as part of larger United Nations efforts to transition towards peace in countries emerging from conflict. It proposes eight key principles to guide WFP’s work in these difficult settings: i) understand the context; ii) maintain a hunger focus; iii) support national priorities where possible, but follow humanitarian principles where conflict continues; iv) support United Nations coherence; v) at a minimum avoid doing harm; vi) be responsive to a dynamic environment; vii) ensure inclusivity and equity; and viii) be realistic. Based on these principles, WFP will follow three main policy directions. First, it will enhance its ability to conduct conflict and risk analysis in transition settings.

Foreword Once again, our committed World Food Programme (WFP) Alumni have taken the time to share their life stories in this latest Oral History publication, “World Food Programme Cross-Border Operations: Personal Experiences of Alumni.” Providing food assistance in a single country is a challenging and complex process. The complexity multiplies significantly when WFP is called upon to assist across borders. Often, those crossing borders do so at great personal risk.
